One of the highlights from Pride Day for me was stopping at Rosa Mexicano for some margaritas and lunch! After watching the parade for at least two hours after doing an intense workout, I desperately needed some good food and strong drinks! I enjoyed watching naked men for quite a while but eventually decided that they would be even more fun to stare at after some tequila! I had never been to Rosa Mexicano before Sunday and it happened to be across the street from the parade! I was a little worried about the steap prices but as soon as I heard about their amazing, pomegranate margaritas, I was in!
I was expecting one drink to be about $20 at a place like Rosa Mexicano but it was only $14! I know…still kind of expensive but the margarita was super strong, delicious and exactly what I needed at 3pm on a Sunday afternoon!
There were five of us at the table so we ordered a large bowl of guacamole and chips to start. It is always a good sign when they make it right in front of you! We got our own little guacamole show.
Hell yeah.
I would go back there just for the guacamole. Amazing! I also loved that they served us chips, along with mini tortillas and two different dipping sauces.
It was time for a second margarita before our meals even arrived! We all thought we weren’t drunk from the first drink but it definitely hit us about five minutes later. Gotta love tequila.
It was one of the toughest decisions of my life deciding what to order from this menu but I eventually went with the Vegetable Tacos: a skillet of market fresh vegetables: portabello mushrooms, roasted beets, asparagus, string beans, Swiss chard, and garlic topped with fresh herbed cheese. Served with flax seed tortillas and red beans.
It was also served with red bean chorizo chili, corn esquites, and chile de arbol salsa. I need to start studying my Spanish again. Don’t ask me what any of that means.
I really enjoyed every single part of my meal! The vegetables were so fresh and flavorful and I especially loved the cheese on top! It was also super fun making my own tacos while drunk! You can probably tell from the photo that I could not see straight….
It was more than enough food and probably made about six little tacos. Lisa kept ordering more and more tortillas so I don’t even know how many we really had! The service at Rosa Mexicano was also amazing, but probably too good because the Busboys kept trying to steal our food before we were finished!
A little view of the restaurant….
We were a very happy group after two of those pomegranate margaritas!
